Longer retention periods available as add-on for all plans.

​
Recovery Options

​
Full Recovery

Complete instance restoration:
  1. Select backup from list
  2. Choose target server
  3. Specify new instance name
  4. Initiate restoration
  5. Verify data integrity

​
Selective Recovery

Restore specific components:
  • Database only: Restore data without files

  • Configuration: Apply saved settings

​
Point-in-Time Recovery

Enterprise feature for precise recovery: 
# Restore to specific timestamp
deployerp backup restore \
  --instance=production \
  --timestamp="2024-01-15 14:30:00" \
  --target=recovery-instance

​

3-2-1 Rule

Follow the backup best practice:
  • 3 copies of important data
  • 2 different storage media
  • 1 offsite backup

​
Testing

Regular recovery testing:

  • Document recovery procedures
  • Time recovery processes
  • Verify data integrity

​
Documentation

Maintain backup documentation:
  • Backup schedules
  • Retention policies
  • Recovery procedures
  • Contact information
  • Escalation paths
